When the lights go out

Normalcy is a matter of perspective. Some strive for it, some strive for recognition by rejecting it, some just dont give a f**k. What? I'm supposed to describe this?

After the laughter has faded

Closed all windows for privacy

I lie on the floor, knees drawn slightly

My body groaning from this heavy weight

Closing my eyes, for a second

Wishing real was reversible

Time static and safe

Maybe if I breathe out all the way

My heart will rest

Disappointing breath drawn to a sputtering heart

This is destiny

This is my fate, accepted

Friends unable to shield me from suffering I inflict

This decision

This delusion

It was never a choice

This is a wonderful and heartfelt poem, a pleasure to read.

I enjoyed this. The way I interpret it is as your "world weight" and the realization if it while alone. Though I might be off in my interpretation...
This flows well, screams honesty, and it was good. That sums it up in a short splurge.
